"EMBIGGEN!" Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) Appreciation

[Xalfrea]

Kamala Khan is just your typical Muslim/American teenage girl from Jersey City. This young fan of the Avengers, Carol Danvers, and fanfiction writing however would suddenly be thrust into a strange world of superheroism when she is mysteriously affected by the Terrigen Mist. Inspired by her idol Captain Marvel and a single act of heroism, she takes it upon herself to become the new Ms. Marvel and save the world. One trash robot at a time.

This is for the members of the Kamala Korps out there.

She's awesome. She's adorable.

She's awesome. She's adorable.

And she's got a long way to go if she hopes to roll with the Avengers someday, but we all have to start somewhere.

Love this pic!!!!
I was looking forward to Ms. Marvel since it was first announced. I put it on my pull list at my LCS. And so far it does not disappoint! I am really digging this comic. Her general dorkiness is not only adorable but endearing.

I love this comic.

She's awesome. She's adorable.

my thoughts exactly

Saw the 4th issue preview, looks like Kamala can survive being shot, which is a really great thing to see.

Also, her attempt at making her first costume is really funny.

Explain please.

Kamala is an Inhuman, as far as i understood what's been happening till now. That's how she got her powers when that mist came over. For those unfamiliar with Inhumans, please read further here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhumans (specially "Infinity" and "Inhumanity" sections to understand last events that lead to Kamala).

So... If she is an Inhuman, my guess is that Kamala will star this title for a while, but eventually Ms. Marvel title will end and she will move to another title like "Inhuman" or any other telling more about the whole Inhuman people (Blackbolt, Medusa, Karnak, etc.).

Just a guess...

I think a Carol/Kahn meeting will happen sooner than later ( at least I hope so). The whole point for Kamala being a hero is cuz she's inspired by Carol/Avengers and in story she's made the news looking like old school Carol, so it seems like a meeting would be inevitable.

Do you think Inhuman is going to last longer than Ms. Marvel? Because I gotta be honest, I don't see that happening. Inhuman was delayed long enough that it lost any momentum it might have had coming out of Infinity, and the concept of the book isn't particularly compelling. It's basically "X-Men without any characters anyone cares about." The Inhumans have some fans, but not enough to sustain an ongoing for more than a year. The only hope this comic had was to be Important, but the delays killed any chances of that happening, and we're already onto the next World-Shaking Event That Will Change Everything And Nothing Will Ever be The Same story with Original Sin. It's not going to do well, and it's not likely to be replaced with another Inhumans book. And if there is another Inhumans book, it's probably going to focus on the Royal Family, and maybe some other Inhumans from Attilan, and maybe a couple characters from the current Inhuman series.

Ms. Marvel, on the other hand, is a character that's got a lot of people excited, and already has a large number of passionate fans supporting it. It'll probably last a good couple of years, maybe even longer. Almost certainly longer than Inhuman lasts.

So, no, I don't see Kamala winding up in an Inhumans book.

If Kamala's series was to ever end, I'd rather she either permanently join Carol in her own series or make occasional appearances there.

I'm personally afraid of what might happen to Kamala if/when Ms. Marvel ends. As great as Marvel is at making teen characters, they don't have the best track record in terms of keeping them relevant and active.

The main aspect of Kamala's Inhuman bloodline that's important is it and the Mist being the catalyst for her powers (it's not any more or less important to her entire character than being Muslim). She's really got no reason to be hanging around Medusa and the rest because she doesn't know them. At best, she'll likely want to find and ask them how she came about when no one else in her family was affected by the Mist, but she'll no doubt favor staying in Jersey City by the end.
